Assistant Professor of Molecular Virology and Antiviral Research at Copenhagen Hepatitis C Program (CO-HEP)

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic assistant professor who are an exceptional early-career scientist dedicated to unravelling molecular mechanism of viral entry, replication, and assembly, and antivirals against these targets for a full-time, two-years position to commence on 01 December 2026.

The successful candidate will establish an internationally recognized, extramurally funded research group utilizing state-of-the-art molecular biology and cell culture techniques. You will join a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary program and contribute significantly to teaching and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students.

Our research

Copenhagen Hepatitis C Program (CO-HEP) Is a Joint Research Effort Between Faculty Of Health And Medical Sciences, University Of Copenhagen And Department Of Infectious Diseases,



Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre. This Center Has Important International Research Collaborations And Focuses On Basic Translational Molecular Biology, Immunology, Antivirals, And Lifecycle Of Hepatitis Viruses (including Hepatitis B And C Viruses), Flaviviruses (including Yellow Fever And Tick-borne Encephalitis Viruses), And Respiratory Viruses (including SARS-CoV-2 And Influenza Viruses). The Key Investigative Tracks Include
- Adaptation: Studying how viruses mutate on a molecular level to optimise replication in host cells.
- Drug Escape Mechanisms: Investigating why certain virus variants build resistance to Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) and Host-Targeting Antivirals (HTAs).
- Immune Evasion and Vaccine Development: Bridge basic virology discoveries with preclinical translational development to study immunology and vaccine development.
